Dealing with an overly jealous boyfriend or girlfriend can be tough. It can be hard to know where to turn and how to tell whether or not something you are doing has the potential to bring out their jealous side. Some people are naturally more jealous than others. When dealing with a potentially jealous significant other, or jealous feelings of your own, it can help to know what the signs of jealousy are so they can be addressed before they damage your relationship. Fortunately, signs of jealousy in the mind are not too difficult to recognize.
She Can't Be Happy for You
So you got a new promotion at work, found a long-lost friend on Facebook, or have finally made up with your best friend from childhood. Things are going great for you. You are happy and so is your significant other...right? If she can't find it in her heart to be happy for you when great things happen to you, it may be because she has jealous tendencies. She may be jealous of your happiness or she may not want to share your love. Either way, part of loving someone is wanting them to be happy. If your good fortune is making her more and more incensed, she may just be naturally jealous.
He's Overly Possessive
According to All Women's Talk, one of the most significant signs of jealousy is possessiveness. If he's jealous for your time and attention, holds your hand or arm everywhere you go, and has all but staked you as his claim, he is probably the possessive, jealous type. There is nothing wrong with a bit of possessiveness in committed relationships, but it can prove to be too much in some instances. Every healthy relationship includes at least some distance between partners. If he doesn't recognize this, his jealousy may be a problem.
She's Always Accusing You
Anyone who has ever been in a relationship with someone who always accuses the other of doing wrong knows just how exhausting this can be. If your partner is always accusing you of lying to them and cheating on them and you have not been, this can become an issue. Everybody overreacts sometime, but irrational accusation on a consistent basis is a problem. Reassure her that she is the only one for you; if she continues with the accusations, you may have incurable jealousy on your hands.
He Won't Stop Calling
If he won't stop calling you, texting you, or emailing you while you are apart, it may be because he misses you. It may also be because he is checking up on you or wants to make sure that he is on your mind at all times. For many people, this type of jealousy can be viewed as cute--for a while. After a while passes, it can be downright frustrating and annoying. Unfortunately, this type of behavior is a huge sign that your mate is the jealous type.
